Some field-geometric features of relevance to particle trapping in the inner magnetosphere and polar-cap regions of Jupiter are described using an internal-field model that includes terms up to the order of n equals 3 (octupole). Adiabatic particle parameters for detectors on Pioneers 10 and 11 during their flights through Jupiter's inner magnetosphere are determined along with the configuration of the intersections of particle drift shells with the planetary ionosphere. Possible correlations between drift-shell contours and the planet-locked characteristics of Jovian decametric radio emission are investigated, and longitudinal asymmetries of the ionospheric plasma source function are analyzed. It is shown that if the ionosphere is the main source of magnetospheric plasma, the latitude dependence of the plasma source function should have a considerable effect on the longitudinal asymmetry of the corotating plasma.
